All Columbus residents love seeing the snowplows come down their street after several inches of
snowfall (“Wind hurts efforts to clear highways,”
Dispatch article, last Sunday). However, must the drivers travel at high speeds, which
throws the salty, slushy snow residue onto the sidewalks that we just cleared? It immediately
freezes to the concrete, making it impossible to shovel or snow-blow.

Maybe if the snowplow drivers would travel at slow speeds, only a foot or two of the walkways
would be affected instead of 10-12 feet.
